New baby

trevwales · 06-08-2009, 09:38 AM

Just got the new Voyager home. First impressions, very solid to ride, as good as the 07 nomad. The acceleration, pretty good, handling light and easy, only heavy when stopped.
Have taken some pics, and link to photobucket account when can figure out how to shorten the damn link!
hope this works! Yup it worked in preview anyway.

For the guys with 09 nomads, how thick are your handlebars? Mine are 1.33 inches? WTF?

That is a nice looking bike!! Congratulations!

Very nice ride, enjoy it Trevwales
Measured my Nomad bars, got 1 inch exactly.
They probably figured the typical Voyager rider would look like Arnold Schwarzenegger and might bend a 1 inch bar.

I think I look like Arnold used to look like.

My wife says I look like he does now! :>(

I want to know how you find that tape measure with thirds on it?

trevwales · 06-21-2009, 03:44 AM

Measures the circumference in mm, divided by pi and converted to inches so you could understand ;>)

Other wise would had to have traded my left handed wrench for one.

Trev

PS, I cheated and used a digital calipers!

There's a test?

elkhunter · 06-30-2009, 03:31 PM

"only heavy when stopped" I agree with that!

handlebars? Mine are 1.33 inches? WTF? If they were any thinner you would bend them lifting it off the side stand. I think I'll be looking for a longer kick stand.
